Keyboard shortcut: Shift+F10
This tab provides for setting all the general programming
parameters.
Settings concerning the programmer and the
communication port are described in Programmer
Selection.
A special Device ➙ Select device window is available for
setting the device type.
▸ Reload file before every programming
The program reads the current file with programming
data from the disc before each and every request to
program a device if this option is checked.
If the use of serial numbers is also activated requesting
reading the current file prior to programming, then the
file is read first and only then is the current serial number
written.
▸ Keep manually modified data
When this choice is active, the file load before
programming does not rewrite manually changed data.
This choice affects only behavior of the file reload before
programming.
▸ Warn before file load, when data in
some editor have been changed
When before load of the file before programming it is
found that data in some editor have been changed, the
program shows a warning.
▸ Warn, when the loaded file has not
changed
Program shows a warning, when the content of the
loaded file has not changed from the previous
programming.
▸ Program file locations only
The programming changes only the positions contained in
the file. First it reads the programmed device content,
then it reads the file content which replaces the data read
from the device. The addresses which are not contained
in the file hold the value read from the device. Finally the
memory is programmed.
▸ Ask before erasing
With this option checked, the program asks for user
confirmation before erasing a device.
▸ Ask before programming of OTP / Flash
/ Code/Data Protection / differential
A set of options determining which user confirmation
dialogs will or will not be displayed by the program.
The program asks just once except the Code/Data
Protection programming. If the program needs to ask
the user for additional information before actual
programming (such as Device has Code or Data
Protection. Do you want to erase it entirely?), it
